High Performance Computing Bioenergy Research Centers Energy Innovation Hubs Energy Frontier Research Centers SBIR/STTR Program Isotopes Program Accelerator Stewardship –Stewardship Solicitations –Operation of BNL ATF as a SC User Facility –Accelerator Stewardship Test Facility Pilot Program The Office of Science leads numerous collaborative R&D initiatives aimed at joint technology development and transfer 2

The Office of Science builds and maintains unique accelerator test infrastructure to support its basic science R&D mission 3 These are just a few of the more than 50 specialized accelerator R&D capabilities across the DOE SC complex…

–Design Beam physics and high-performance computing expertise –High accuracy modeling of complex accelerator systems Design and engineering of accelerator components –Complete concept-to-prototype design capability –Fabrication & Subcomponent Testing Superconducting cable/strand and cavity preparation and testing facilities –Processing and testing infrastructure for cable and RF cavities Magnet test facilities –Power supplies, cryogenic test stands, high precision field mapping Microwave and laser test facilities –Microwave and laser source & measurement capability covering a very wide spectrum Fabrication and materials characterization facilities –Beam Testing Facilities Provide electrons, neutrons, protons, light and heavy ions, x-rays, gamma rays, … –And more! DOE SC accelerator facilities and capabilities span the full cycle from design to prototype testing and beyond 4

Is a one-year Pilot to: Broaden public awareness of accelerator R&D capabilities at the DOE National Laboratories Survey the potential demand for accelerator R&D capabilities Seed fund a few collaborative R&D efforts Test the process and logistics involved in engaging Stewardship users The DOE Office of Science Accelerator Stewardship Test Facility Pilot Program 7

April-June Labs conducted public outreach events –BNL – Survey; industry group meetings –ANL & FNAL – Open house on 4/28/15 –JLAB – Networking meeting on 5/4/15 –SLAC – Open house 5/29/15 –LBNL – Webinar on 6/5/15 June 15, 2015 Seed funding proposals due NowProposals are under peer review Aug/Sept Seed funding awarded Spring 2016Evaluate results of pilot program formulate follow-on program Pilot Program Process and Timeline 8

Criteria: –High value-added collaborative accelerator R&D opportunities that: Mutually benefit the lab and the Stewardship partner Capitalize on existing lab accelerator test facilities and expertise –DOE policy guidelines on Strategic Partnerships “The proposed work— (1) is consistent with or complementary to missions of DOE/NNSA and the facility to which the work is to be assigned, (2) will not adversely impact programs assigned to the facility, (3) will not place the facility in direct competition with the domestic private sector, and (4) will not create a detrimental future burden on DOE/NNSA resources.” -- DOE O 481.1C, section 4(c) Pilot Program seed funding will be awarded selectively to test the stewardship use of accelerator R&D infrastructure 9

Goals of the public outreach events: –Broaden public awareness about the lab’s accelerator test facilities and accelerator expertise Open Houses, Webinars, Meetings, Updated Webpages –Meet potential Stewardship partners, and discuss their needs: One-on-one Meetings, Discussions, Surveys –What facilities and expertise are needed? –What time and effort is needed? –What supporting engineering is needed? –How will results be published and/or protected? –Feedback about the Outreach process or lab/industrial collaborative process? National Laboratory Public Outreach Events 10

Outreach outcome: –More than 450 participants contacted through public outreach events organized by 6 DOE-SC Labs Diversity of outreach methods Many “first-time” contacts –Proposals submitted for seed funding Next steps: –Seed-funding proposals under peer- review now –Plan awards in August/September –Analyze outcomes in Spring ‘16 Formulate follow-on program National Laboratory Public Outreach Events 11

Feedback from the Public Outreach Events 12 “…can you do an open house every year?” “Great capabilities, but Lab labor and overhead rates are very high.” “Facilities are amazing, I was green with envy” “Simply an impressive day. The capabilities – scientific, technological and as an engine for innovation are quite astonishing.” “WFO is not acceptable! Other agreements are not clear how they work.” “Full cost recovery for work at Labs is not appropriate. Therefore how can the work be competitive?” “We are very pleased to see the changes that are happening at our labs!” “[participants showed] probably as much interest in lab capabilities beyond [accelerator] stewardship as within stewardship” “Most wanted a mechanism for very quick turnaround on $10-20k projects.”

“One-Stop Shopping” for finding Accelerator R&D Capabilities at the DOE Office of Science National Laboratories 13

The Accelerator Stewardship Test Facility Pilot Program is a new mechanism to make national lab accelerator R&D capabilities and technologies more accessible Recent public outreach events reached over 450 participants –Showed that there is considerable interest in the national lab infrastructure This interest is broader than the accelerator R&D infrastructure –Showed that national lab staff are very interested in engaging with others Labs enthusiastically embraced the opportunity to show how they can help Using the national lab accelerator capabilities for mutually beneficial R&D will strengthen the overall R&D ecosystem –There is unique accelerator technology and capability at the labs that can be used and developed for other applications Closing Comments 14
